"All ready?" Thor asked. Everybody nodded to it.

"Then let's vanish." Thor then proceeded to open the Bifrost using his Stormbreaker. The Bifrost opened and all got sucked into it, vanishing from the Palace where only the soldiers remained now to look after the realm.

They appeared on a small planet. The planet looked like it came right out of a fantasy movie. It was beautiful with plants, trees and small birds and animals roaming around freely. This was so beautiful that even Thor and Loki who lived in a beautiful place like Asgard took time to appreciate it.

As they were looking at the scenery, a small child manifested in front of them. The child looked like he was made of pure white energy. Like a God. And the child had two crows on his shoulders.

"Welcome guests to the roots of Yggdrasil." the child spoke. Nobody expected such a scene. Only Strange and Thor looked like they expected it.

"I can't feel any soul from it." Yen said. Triss too nodded at it meaning that the child wasn't actually real but just a magic manifestation.

"Please follow me." the child said.

"Brother, is that the child who had been coming to guide you?" Loki asked. Thor nodded at it. They started following the child. From afar they could see a huge tree-like structure that went up in the skies. Only thing was that the tree itself looked like it was made of energy like the child.

All were amazed at it. This was Yggdrasil that connected all the 10 realms together. Now they were able to see it clearly because the 10th realm had been connected again to Yggdrasil thus completing it.

After following the child for a few minutes they reached a well. A huge well. The well that had no end to it when being gazed upon.

"Thor Odinson, this well contains all that you wish for. The well of Mimir. Your father gained his wisdom and power right here. And now it's your turn. You have more potential than him. But every power comes at a cost. In order to gain something you have to give up something."

"What do I need to sacrifice? What price do I have to pay?" Thor asked.

"You can decide on your own what is worthy of sacrifice. And you too Stephen Strange. You both need to decide on it." the child said.

"Huh!!" Everybody was taken aback by this sudden mention of Strange, including Thor. He thought only he was led here.

"What is going on?" Clint asked.

"Thor and I were both led here to gain powers. John knew about all of this from the very beginning. You remember after you spoke of the child, he said something?" Strange asked.

"Yes. he asked if you were ready to sacrifice. Odin's beard. He knew of this too?" Thor came to a realization.

"Yes. This is where we both change our destinies and become more powerful. I am not sure how powerful we will become but for this we will need to sacrifice an equally important thing."

"What do we need to give up?" Thor asked.

"Our eyes." Strange answered.

"My eyes? You mean I need to sacrifice my eyes to gain more power?" Thor asked, looking at the child. The child nodded his head.

"I understand." Thor said as he went to the side of the well. He took a deep breath inside. Nobody stopped Thor even though they felt sad. They knew there was no turning back from here. Even though they felt sad, all knew that Thor had already decided on it.

After the battle against Hela, he had changed and he kind of blamed himself for being so powerless. Now he would have a stronger power that they could ever ask for and if the price were his eyes, he would gladly give it away.

Thor then proceeded to use his bare hands to gouge out both of his eyes. This scene looked very gory as blood splattered everywhere. But Thor didn't even utter a single cry of pain. I was as if nothing had happened. After a couple of seconds of struggle he was successful in bringing out his eyes, laden in blood. And then dropped it on he well.

The moment he did so Thor's body was sucked into the well. Loki who was looking at all this brought out his knives as he felt they were being deceived. At first his brother lost his eyes and now even his body was taken away.

He was ready to assault the child and get some answers but felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't be impulsive Loki." Strange said.

"Impulsive? This damned well just took my brother away. Do you think I won't react? I accepted him giving away his eyes. But not this." Loki said.

"Your brother will come back. He needs time to absorb the new powers. The well took him away for that." Strange said in a calm voice.

"Don't tell me now you will do the same thing?" Loki asked.
